Dispatch desk / every trailer

Truck dispatch service where every load is your call

We find the freight, negotiate the rate and every extra, and handle the broker calls and paperwork. You see each load before it's booked and say yes or no. The rate con comes from the broker straight to you.

Your call

Nothing gets booked until you say yes

Plenty of owner-operators have been burned by a dispatcher who books first and calls later. That isn't how this desk works. Every load comes to you as an offer with the lane, miles, rate, pickup window and every extra. You book it or you pass, and passing costs you nothing. Try it on these sample loads.

Rate con path: broker to your inboxBROKERDISPATCHNOT IN THE PATHYOUR INBOXRATE CON, DIRECT

Nothing is booked until you say so. You see the lane, the miles, the rate and every extra before anyone commits your truck.

Note 01

The rate con is yours

The broker sends it to you, you sign it, you keep it. If something on it doesn't match the offer, you catch it before the truck moves.

Note 02

You see the real rate

Our percentage comes from the same number printed on your rate con. No markup in the middle, no second set of numbers.

Note 03

No load quota

We don't count how many offers you turn down. A pass tells us what you won't haul, and the next offer gets closer.

Scope of work

What the dispatch desk takes off your plate

This is the work our truck dispatchers do on every account, at every fee tier. Nothing here costs extra.

  1. 01

    Load sourcing

    All the major load boards plus direct broker and shipper contacts. We look for loads that fit your truck, your gear, your lanes and your home time, not just whatever posted last.

  2. 02

    Rate negotiation

    Every load, every time. Linehaul plus the extras your freight earns: tarp pay on flatbeds, lumper and detention terms on reefers, liftgate and appointment pay on 26 ft boxes.

  3. 03

    Broker calls

    We take the calls, the emails and the check calls. You drive. If a broker changes the pickup time or the weight, we sort it out and tell you what changed.

  4. 04

    Paperwork

    Carrier packets, broker setups, insurance certificates on file, and the BOL and POD sent where they need to go so nobody holds up your pay.

  5. 05

    Reloads

    We work on the next load before you deliver this one, so you aren't sitting empty in a town that only receives freight.

  6. 06

    Detention

    We note your in and out times and file detention and layover claims with the broker, using the terms that were agreed on the rate con.

  7. 07

    Weekly report

    Loads, miles, gross, rate per mile and the fee, one report per truck, every week. You see exactly what the desk did.

  8. 08

    Oversize support

    On permitted loads we coordinate permit requests and escorts when you ask. You stay responsible for your permits, and those costs aren't part of our fee.

Load check

What we check before a load reaches your phone

Most loads we look at never get offered to you. Before an offer goes out, the dispatcher runs the same six checks on it, whatever you haul. If a load fails one, you don't hear about it.

Check 1Broker
Credit, days to pay and how they've treated carriers on detention and TONU. If a broker has burned you before, they're off your list for good.
Check 2All-in rate
Linehaul plus extras, divided by loaded and empty miles together. A rate that looks fine until you count the deadhead isn't fine.
Check 3Fit
Your trailer, your gear, your weight limits and your endorsements. We don't offer a load you can't legally haul or secure.
Check 4Times
Pickup and delivery windows you can actually make under hours of service, with room for a slow dock.
Check 5The next load
What ships out of the delivery town. A good rate into a dead market can cost you more than it pays.
Check 6Terms
Detention, layover and TONU written on the rate con, so a claim later isn't an argument.

Our opinion: the load that pays the most is often not the one that earns the most by Friday. We'd rather offer you two loads that chain together than one that leaves you empty in a town with no outbound freight.

Equipment

Every trailer, one dispatch desk

No specialty, no favorite trailer. A reefer gets the same attention as a step deck, and a 26 ft box gets the same attention as an RGN. Pick yours for the full page on how we dispatch it.

Fee math

Run the fee math on your own week

The fee is a percentage of the load revenue on loads you haul: 5% for one truck with an MC older than 6 months, 7% for new MCs, 26 ft box trucks and hotshots, and 4% for fleets of 2 or more semi trucks. No setup fee, no minimums, month-to-month with 30 days notice. Permits, escorts and lumpers the broker reimburses aren't part of it.

Move the slider to your typical week. The comparison column shows the same week at 10%, so you can see what a higher percentage takes out of a year.

Start

How starting works

  1. A

    Apply

    About 2 minutes. Your truck, your authority and how to reach you.

  2. B

    Call

    A dispatcher calls to talk lanes, rate floors, home time and the freight you won't haul.

  3. C

    Packets

    You send your MC letter, W-9 and insurance certificate. We set up your packets with brokers.

  4. D

    First load

    We send the first offer. You say yes or no. The rate con lands in your inbox.

How fast this goes depends on your paperwork and how new your MC is. We'll give you an honest estimate on the first call instead of promising a number here. The full walkthrough is on how dispatch works, and if you run one truck, read dispatch for owner-operators.

Straight answers

What we won't do

The complaints we hear most about dispatchers, and where we stand on each one.

  • Force a load on you.Every load is an offer. You can pass on any of them, any time, for any reason.
  • Hide the rate.The rate con comes from the broker to you. You always see what the load pays.
  • Book brokers you've blocked.Tell us once and that broker never shows up in your offers again.
  • Cut corners on safety.No overweight loads, no securement shortcuts, no schedules that only work if you break hours of service.
  • Lock you in.Month-to-month, 30 days notice. Leave when the loads stop being worth it.
  • Take vans or small boxes.No cargo vans, no sprinters, no box trucks under 26 ft. Better to say so here than after you apply.
New authority

MC under 6 months?

Brokers are careful with new authorities, so the first weeks are about finding the ones that aren't. You pay 7% until month 6, then your rate drops to the standard rate for your equipment on its own. No call needed.

Dispatch for new authority
Small fleets

Running 2 or more trucks?

Fleets of semi trucks pay 4% of gross, and it stays 4%. Mixed equipment is fine, you decide who approves loads, and every truck gets its own weekly report.

Dispatch for small fleets
Cash flow

Get paid faster than broker terms

Brokers often pay in 30 days or more, and fuel, insurance and repairs don't wait that long. Freight factoring pays your invoices in days. We can refer you to our factoring partner, and dispatch and factoring work fine side by side. Start with the basics in our freight factoring guide.

Notes / FAQ

Truck dispatch service questions

Note 01How much does your truck dispatch service cost?

Our fee is a percentage of the load revenue on loads you actually haul. It's 5% for one truck with authority older than 6 months, 7% for MCs under 6 months, 26 ft box trucks and hotshots, and 4% for fleets of 2 or more semi trucks. There's no setup fee and no monthly minimum, and reimbursed permits or lumpers aren't part of it.

Note 02Do I have to take every load you find?

No. Every load comes to you as an offer with the lane, miles, rate, pickup window and extras. You say yes or no. Turning one down costs nothing and doesn't put you at the back of any line. We'd rather hear why you passed, so the next offer fits your truck better.

Note 03Who sends me the rate confirmation?

The broker does, straight to you. You read it, sign it and keep it. That means you always see the exact rate the load pays, and our percentage is figured from that same number. We don't sit between you and the paperwork, and we never quote you one rate while the broker pays another.

Note 04Is there a contract or setup fee?

There's no setup fee and no long contract. Service runs month-to-month, and you can cancel with 30 days notice. If you don't haul a load, you don't pay a fee for it. We'd rather keep carriers because the loads are good than because the paperwork makes leaving hard.

Note 05Can a new MC use your truck dispatching services?

Yes. New authorities pay 7% for the first 6 months, then move to the standard rate for their equipment automatically. Some brokers won't work with new MCs at first, so the early weeks focus on the ones that will, and your carrier packets are ready so you can book the day a good load shows up.

Note 06What equipment do you dispatch?

Dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck and Conestoga, RGN and lowboy oversize, power only, car haulers, dump trucks, hazmat and tankers, hotshots and 26 ft box trucks. Every type gets the same desk, the same attention on the phone and the same rule: you approve every load before it's booked.

Note 07Do you dispatch cargo vans, sprinters or small box trucks?

No. We dispatch 26 ft box trucks and larger, and we don't take cargo vans or sprinter vans. Smaller boxes and vans rarely get the load access and rates that cover a dispatch fee, and we'd rather tell you that up front than take a percentage of loads that don't pay.

Note 08Do you work with small trucking companies with several trucks?

Yes. Fleets of 2 or more semi trucks pay 4% of gross, and that rate is permanent, not a promotion. You choose whether the owner or each driver approves loads, and every truck gets its own weekly report. Mixed equipment in one fleet is fine, and you can start with some trucks and add the rest later.
